If either is real, what would be a reasonable asking price? Thanks for any information that can be supplied.

In checking with some of my own Goddard autographs (2) and with some copied letters of his in my files, overall, I am not completely happy or satisfied that either cut signature is indeed authentic.

Granted, while I have very little evaluation autograph experience with America's father of rocketry, there appears to be more than three major concerns that I have with each of them.

I also have a cut signature from a letter of Dr. Goddard, however, mine does differ in some patterns that I am just not too comfortable with in comparison with your signed pieces, but especially with your first signature sample.

With a genuine cut signature of the rocket pioneer from a letter, but with no date nor letter content, I would place a estimated value of at least a few hundred dollars and possibly more if the cut signature was a better sample.
